 After
much deliberation about what breed of dog I was going to have next I fell
for the cute look of a poodle cross who I named Whizzy. She is the first
crossbreed I have had and is very interesting as each side of her cross can
come out at different times.
She instantly proved a hit with the crowd
during the displays chasing her toy around the arena and of course it was
good socialisation when she was a puppy. As she is part standard poodle I
knew she would take a while to mature and grow up so I did'nt do quite as
much as I would normally do with a puppy
so that she could develop.
As she grew up I concentrated on her
obedience and decided to put her in a few shows
during 2009. Due to my busy schedule teaching and demonstrating I could only
get to four shows. I was very pleased that she acheieved two firsts and two
 seconds
which meant she has to go up to the next class. If i had more time I would
have liked to progress her obedience but as the displays tend to be in the
summer when the
obedience shows are I cannot be in two places at once.
As
she was approaching two in 2010 I debated about bringing her out in
freestyle but will wait and see if I feel she is ready. |
